“Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.” ― Assata Shakur, Assata: An Autobiography

BOLDUAN: When I was asking you about Comey, you've twice now brought up the Epstein files and Tom Homan. Why? RASKIN: Because the DOJ is in full coverup mode

George Orwell’s 1984 warned of a future where Big Brother watches every move. Tech is making that vision a reality, & Oracle founder Larry #Ellison—the world’s second-richest person—sees a growing opp for his co to help authorities analyze real-time data from millions of surveillance cameras.

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

Great advice for academics. "Freedom is a constant struggle" (Angela Davis)

Why are people still building bears in this economy?

The people are paying for their own enslavement. Shocking there isn't a revolt yet.

“Mark Ruffalo -- one of the Disney stars who pressured the company to reverse course -- told us: ‘We’re the home of the brave and the land of the free. But if we want to be free, then we gotta be brave.’ Damn, Mark, you said it.“ In solidarity, Ezra Levin, Co-Executive Director, Indivisible

Really though, i feel like this is my Sermon on The Mount

Old constitutional crisis: President disobeys the Supreme Court. New constitutional crisis: Supreme Court disobeys the Constitution.

What would a general strike in the US actually look like? wagingnonviolence.org/2025/04/what...

Italy is having a general strike for #Gaza, every western country should do the same. #generalstrike www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

“This concession shows that student campaigns do have an influence,” one student said. "These ties cannot survive transparency."

They are NOT the majority. They have billionaires who own mainstream and social media, most of the Supreme Court and half of Congress. Yet, they are NOT the majority. This is why they’re always trying to take away your votes. Because they are NOT the majority. They never will be.

watching even a few seconds of the kirk funeral makes it clear a large quantity of this country is ready for full on nazi authoritarianism and we have to really grapple with how much we need to put a stop to this as quickly as possible

Thank you to the 96 Democrats and 4 Republicans who did not capitulate. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/senat...

It’s not a crime to be in this country as an undocumented person. It’s a civil violation. But you know what is a crime? Taking a bribe from undercover agents in exchange for the promise of government contracts WHEN YOU’RE THE FCKING BORDER CZAR.

Wow. Not at all surprising, but wow. Blatant corruption is perfectly fine (encouraged, even) in this administration.

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying. We ALL need to step up for the first amendment. By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. mh

And stop obeying in advance.

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

and when we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard nor welcomed but when we are silent we are still afraid So it is better to speak remembering we were never meant to survive. ~ Audre Lorde

We cannot trust anything coming out of this FBI or DOJ. They are supposed to work for us. They work for Trump.

This is so sad. Creative people are losing their jobs and we are losing our humanity because of this AI slop.

A wholesome and much needed TL cleanser.

Thinking of an alternate reality where Tyler and Lance hop in the car like Thelma and Louise, but they make it to Mexico.

PBS & NPR educated the masses… their funding was cut Colbert rightfully called out a bribe… he was cancelled Kimmel said that MAGA were working hard to say the Kirk shooter wasn’t one of them… he gets suspended A Fox News host calls for mass killing of homeless people… and keeps his job Fascism.

Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert would be fantastic running mates. Just sayin 🌊

Disney/ABC just caved & pulled Jimmy Kimmel for political reasons. Nexstar — which owns The CW + 200+ local ABC, NBC, CBS & FOX stations — is part of the same machine. 💥 Boycott Disney. Boycott Nexstar. Boycott their advertisers. Hit them where it hurts: the $$$.

here's a direct link to canceling your Disney+ account. post your cancellations in the comments. www.disneyplus.com/commerce/acc...

Don’t let this make you quieter. Get louder.

Thou shalt not call yourself a “free speech warrior” and then spend all your time getting people fired for using free speech.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

We’d be in a much stronger position right now if mainstream Democrats had taken a common sense stand for First Amendment principles instead of piling on undergraduate standing up for Palestine.

They are literally canceling culture

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

First, Stephen Colbert. Now Jimmy Kimmel. Is it sinking in now? Do you all get it now? We now live in an authoritarian dictatorship. The United States of America as we know it is OVER for everyone.

Dr. Susan Monarez: “I could have stayed silent, agreed to the demands, and no one would have known. What the public would have seen were scientists dismissed without cause and vaccine protections quietly eroded…I would have lost the one thing that cannot be replaced: My integrity.”

RFK needs to go 🥾

Ousted CDC director Susan Monarez told senators that she was fired for “holding the line on scientific integrity.”

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

Education is the enemy of fascism.

“I met Charlie for the first time in July of 2001. I went on his podcast, and I think we approached each other with a lot of trepidation at that time, but by the end of the podcast, we were soulmates.” Literally sounds like a ChatGPT hallucination. www.thedailybeast.com/rfk-jr-raise...
